Greetings all ye mortals!

Okay, by now we've all seen photos of the Hasbro booth at this year's Comic Con.

http://www.fighting118th.com/2009/0...-booth-diorama/

I can easily say for me I think some influence from the booth might rub off into some of my dio shots--I do like the inside scenes where the Joes are gathered around their computers. There are some other nice shots too showing some things yet to come or customs--grey camo Airborne, desert ambush troops, etc. But the purpose of this thread is how would you go about recreating some of these scenes? Do you know of any location to buy or build the chairs in the computer room dio, or any guesses as to the computer displays -- LCD or simply printed transparency with a light behind it? The underwater scene looks to be simply colored film and the figures/vehicles suspended by black thread, but what about the structure in the back?

Anyway, as a source for information, please post your thoughts and speculations.

Ive been thinking about some of that stuff also. I think its probably a mix of kitbash, molded pieces and paper mache or clay, something like that. I think the screens were just colored plastic with lights behind them. I have been thinking about some sort of multi layered dio piece like that for a long time, but I dont have the room, and with a big static piece like that, it would be hard to get in there to take pictures. Admittedly, the think is pretty cool.

I can't believe they went to all the trouble of creating such an impressive set, and then lazily used figure stands to hold the figures up. That's Hasbro for you!

There are also some Marauder modular pieces in there. Look at the section where The Doctor has RA Duke strapped to the chair, they're in the background inside the glass cases.

I'm so disappointed that Hasbro can make such nice "playsets" for SDCC but can't even make anything even half as good for actual playsets.

I would LOVE the Japan set they used for Marvel Universe.

I been thinking about writing Hasbro a letter asking about the chairs as that chairs don't look kitbashed rather the look manufactured
